Perception of Bouncers

Seems I remember decades ago when I would go concerts or clubs, the bouncers seemed to have a green light to fuck up anybody they pleased. Any trouble broke out and they would start messing people up indiscriminately without fear of consequences. If fact, I often remember the bouncers being complete assholes to almost all the customers and I could never understand why a club or concert would allow that.

Now, seems times have changed and the bouncers,or security, is far more polite and reserved. They will throw people out but are less likely fuck people up in the process.

Perhaps there is more liability now days. Perhaps it is the video camera's. Or maybe its the same shit but I just don't go to the same type concerts or clubs.
